Any company’s daily operations contain a high degree of risk. The aim of SPVs is to assist the parent firm in legally isolating the risks associated with projects or activities. In real estate investing, the taxes on a particular property sale may be greater than the gain earned from the sale. However, by establishing a special-purpose vehicle that owns the property, the parent company can sell the SPV rather than the property, resulting in the parent company paying taxes on the SPV’s earnings rather than the property’s sales tax. With SPV investment, the investors’ pooled assets are separated from the parent firm and placed under SPV ownership. If you or your financial management partners are thinking about beginning or setting up a SPV to buy property, it is worth looking at some of the key benefits it provides to you.
Because of Section 24 interest limits on property loans, many individuals in the UK set up an SPV to purchase the properties, as interest is a low cost under the limited company. If you’re thinking of forming an SPV or already have one and want us to manage it for you, our accountants for SPVs in the UK can help you from the start and guarantee you’re on the correct road from the start.
How Does An Spv Help You When Purchasing Or Selling Real Estate?
Buying and managing the property through a Special-Purpose Vehicle (SPV) firm provides many tax advantages that individual landlords do not have.
There are several benefits to acquiring a property through an SPV:
- You can lower your prospective tax burden by controlling how much money is taken out of the firm.
- An SPV allows you to develop a portfolio within one business, lowering administrative and continuing expenditures.
- Because the firm owns the land, it is quite simple to change the shareholders. This is important if you want to give property to a family member, and it may assist recipients to save money on inheritance tax if they are joined as shareholders.
- With a limited company, you only have to pay a reasonable rate of corporation tax (19% as of 2020/12) on rental revenues and any gains from property sales.
- If you shift an asset to an SPV, you must pay capital gains tax, but only at the corporate tax rate.
- Stamp duty savings can be large when selling shares in an SPV; selling shares in an SPV is a better alternative than selling the property itself since it avoids property conveyancing hassles and associated fees, including stamp duty. You are only transferring share ownership here, and the firm retains ownership of the property.
- You can leverage existing cash within an SPV to acquire a whole other buy-to-let property, and if you make a personal loan into an SPV, you can take it back out as a tax-free director’s loan.
